About

BlueTavla

Features
Read full description

BlueTavla is classic backgammon, done properly. Real rules, a warm wooden board, and an opponent worth beating โ€” all running entirely on your device. PLAYS OFFLINE, ALWAYS No account, no sign-up, no connection required. On a plane, on the metro, or anywhere with no signal, the board is ready. AN OPPONENT THAT MATCHES YOU Three difficulty levels. The easy setting is forgiving while you learn the rules; the hardest thinks several moves ahead and punishes loose play. BUILT AROUND THE REAL RULES Hitting and entering from the bar, doubles, bearing off, forced moves โ€” the engine follows the full ruleset, not a simplified version. TAKE YOUR TIME Tap a checker to see where it can go. Made a move you regret? Undo it. Nothing is final until you confirm your turn, so you can think the whole roll through. CLEAR AND CALM A wooden board that is easy on the eyes, dice that roll where you can see them, and a pip counter so you always know who is ahead. Turkish and English throughout.
